will 17x9 +35 (or +30 with spacers) clear everything up front on a stock fendered s13 with tein he's? whats the biggest tire i could use with it? camber?

no. it won't. you need somewhere around +20 to fit a 9" wheel. That will require a couple degree's negative camber, and fender rolling.

I bought some 17x8.5 +33 for my fronts. Does anyone know if I will come accross the same problems.
Thanks, Snail

With Tein HEs you'll more than likely rub the wheel on the spring/perch. My 8.5 +25s barely clear, so I would look into getting some spacers...

just for reference, my 17x8 +35's have about 5mm clearance from the strut body. So punch that in an offset calculator (google

ffset calculator), and figure out what will work.

sykikchimp.....are you running strut/spring or coilovers? Im about to put my 17x8 +38s in front and am trying to figure out if im gonna need a spacer to clear. wanting to run a 225/45/17 if possible

sorry to hijack the thread

Dousan_PG · 07-21-2004, 10:03 PM

you need spacer kidinthehall
i had some like that
not sur eon size, i ran a 20mm because of my camber and how i prefer it to look
but yeah definately sapcer up front.

kidinthehall · 07-21-2004, 11:44 PM

keep in mind im not running coil overs at the moment. just strut/spring combo.

Im not too concerned with it being super flush, and i have no way to adjust camer at the moment either, aside from the eccentric bolt. Do you think a 5mm spacer will do it, or will i have to get some 10's? im trying to stay away from having to step down to a 215 tire if possible.
